§1 — PREMISE

The people building frontier AI in Europe rarely sit in the same room.

Frontier labs, academia, startups and the students coming up behind them work on the same problems and almost never compare notes. So we put fifty of each in one room for one day: a single track, hard stops, no recording — so what gets said on stage is what people actually say off it.

THREE LEARNING AREAS

One question, four talks, ninety-five minutes.

Four twenty-minute talks on the same question — researchers on the state of it, frontier labs on what happens at scale, founders on what breaks when you ship it — then fifteen minutes with all four on stage answering each other. Same shape three times, after an opening keynote.
